ACCORDING to the Herald Mr., Ne

ACCORDING to the Herald Mr.. Need
hamis responsible for all the disorder
in the court house, and especially for the
failure to have the county commits
sioners' proceedings conducted in busi-
ness way and promptly recorded. We
take issue with the Herald on that point.
The commissioners have supreme au-
thority in county affairs, and it Is their
duty to conduct them according to ap-
proved business methods. They employ
a special clerk to attend their meetings
and record their proceedings. If they
were in the habit of doing business as it
should be done they would have that
clerk make full record of every motion,
resolution and vote, and they would dis
charge him if he failed to keep up his
records. Mr.. Needham, it is true, is
the county clerk, but as tho business of
attending commissioners meeting has
been taken out of his hands he cannot
be held responsible for what is done or
for what is neglected.

MORE than two months ago Mayor
Broatch nominated a park commits
sioner. The council had the nomination
referred to committee, and the COM
mittee having failed to report within
thirty days, the nomination is politely
rejected. Such a rejection is about OF
the same nature as pocket veto. The
charter is very clear on this point. Sec
tion 143, which relates to the appoint
ment Of city officers, says: Upon the
failure or refusal of the council to con-
firm any of said appointments, it shall
be the duty of the mayor on the first
Tuesday of each month thereafter to
make other appointments for such Of
fees as the appointees thereto be not
confirmed, and so continue until ap-
proved by the council" 1t will be the
duty of Mayor Broatch on the first Tues
day in November to nominate a new
park commissioner, and if the council
pockets that nomination or rejects the
nominee, he will have to send in an
other name on the first Tuesday in De-
cember, and continue from month to
month until one Of his appointees as
park commissioner is confirmed.

reduced by one-half, the saving to the
people would exceed one hundred million
dollars year, and fair profit still be
left for the manufacturers. This enor-
nous exaction, which to the majority OF
the people isseverely oppressive, cannot
be longer justified and should not be
permitted to continue. 1t is o mockery
OF the righteous demand Of the people
for relief to talk OF free tobacco and
whisky while everything that man,
woman and child must wear is OUT
rageously taxed for the benefit OF few
manufacturers. Revision Of the tariff
should not stop with the reduction OF
the duties on these prime necessaries Of
life, but it might properly begin with
them. The figures carry their own
argument, and no intelligent and un-
prejudiced man will fail to be convinced
by It,.

Voluntary Contributions.

II the chairman OF the state demo-
cratic committee Of Iowa, in appealing
TO the federal offico-holders for "volun-
tary contributions" to the campaign
fund, supposed that he could proceed
with his plan without exposure he was
mistaken. Not only was his scheme dis
covered, but 1t has been made the text
in several eastern papers OF homilies
upon this method Of evading the law
enacted to shield the office-holder from
the old assessment system, which 1t
happened to be the fate Of Jay Hubbell
to render especially odious. One OF the
papers that have commented upon Mr..
Hunters plan of securing political aims,
which seems to have been quite success
full If the report that twenty
thousand dollars have been con-
tributed is true, philosophically re-
marks: SIT is evident that the politi-
clans of both sides are going TO bleed
the ofIice-holders when and how they
can" There can be no doubt Of this,
and the only question is whether the
man who holds the Office is any better
system than he was when the ''stand
and deliver" policy was in vogue.
The law provides that no federal
oflice-h -holdershal be assessed or required
to make any contribution for a political
purpose, and that his refusal to make
such contribution if called upon shall
not be to his prejudice. Persons hold
ing an office are forbidden TO pay to or
receive from another office-holder
any political contribution. But all
this was no obstacle to the
chairman Of the Iowa democratic COM
mittee. The law imposed no restraint
upon him, and having appealed to the
party loyalty of the oflice-holders, ex-
planned the necessity that existed for
aid to pay obligations contracted and
further the campaign, quoted from the
president to assure them that they were
not deprived of all political privileges,
and reminded them that they were en-
joying the fruits of victory, he set forth
the amount which each was expected to
deliver up according to the Office he
held. This telling man how much is
wanted of him does not appear to be
quite consistent with the idea of a
voluntary contribution, but it probably
suits the democratic construction
of that idea, especially where, as
in Iowa, it is of the greatest
Importance to get funds. There appears
to have been, as we have already said, a
prompt and generous response to the
appeal.
The old system of enforced contribu-
tions for political purposes was unques-
tionably bad, and it was well to prohibit
it. BUTT is a question whether the law
goes as far as it should either for the
protection of the office-holder or for the
correction of the assumed evil in
volved in allowing the servants OF
the whole people to aid by the money
earned in that relation the cause of a
political party. 1t is certain that politi-
cal contributions will continue to be
made by office-holders until there is a
law absolutely prohibiting them, and
this would perhaps be going farther
than any one would approve.

ment from office. Their efforts to break
him down in popular confidence have
been persistent, but without success,
yet they have not abandoned him. 1t
is now reported that he has been asked
to resign, owing to the want OF har-
mony between he and the secretary of
the interior, and that the president had
acquiesced. The report hedges, how
ever, by remarkihg that a personal con-
ference OF the president and commits
sioner may change the situation. There
is every reason to believe that the pres
ident has the fullest confidence in the
integrity Of General Sparks, and that
it would require very strong pressure
to induce him to ask or consent to his
retirement. He has unquestionably
made mistakes, but the fact remains to
his credit, overshadowing all errors,
that he has been vigilant and faithful
i'm the interests OF the government and
the people, and we do not believe that
the president, with the full knowledge
of this, would consent to his retirement
except for more urgent reasons than
are stated in the report from washing

Americans VS.. Englishmen.

A glance at the work on american

lately been published with copious
illustrations, by Messrs. Cassell will
show what immense pains and
skill the Americans devote TO
the art Of building fast sailing vessels.
The truth is that with them yacht rae
ing is even more q serious and absorb
ing pursuit than it is with Englishmen,
and when an American de-
votes himself to task Of prac-
tical skill he is apt to be hard
TO beat in 1t. Americans have not 80
many outdoor pursuits as we have, but
such as they have they take very seri-
ously. They have given us the best
fishing-rods, and their skill in casting
the fly would put our best anglers on
their mettle. They can shoot and they
can ride in their own way as well as the
best OF US, as the "Wild West" has
shown. We can hold our own in row.

The average duty on wOolen hosiery,
dress goods and other manufactures
of wool is over 81 per cent, the highest
rates being upon those qualities which
enter into most general use or are in de-
mand by the masses OF the people. The
average duty on cotton cloth is little
over SO per cent, and it is about the
same on cotton yarn. The table of Mr..
Moore does not include any article which
pays less duty than fifty per cent, and
we have selected only those which sup
ply the everyday wants of the whole
people. The duties on iron and steel in
its various forms for use, on numerous
minerals, and on some other articles
which belong in the list of necessities,
we do not refer to, for the reason that
they are not essential to opoint the moral
which we desire to draw. That simply
and obviously is that in every home OF
the land the clothing that covers the in
mates by day and shelters them at
night has paid an enormous tax,
not required by the wants
OF the government, and which
has enabled the owners Of woolen and
cotton mill corporations, syndicates and
trusts to reap great profits and grow
rich, powerful and defiant. 1t is a rea-

THERE is a great deal Of diphtheria
prevalent in the eastern cities, the
dreaded disease being almost epidemic
in some localities. Quite generally the
per cent. of mortality is very high, in
dicating unusual nnlignancy. Medical
science has as yet attained to only a
very limited knowledge regarding tho
causes and the treatment of this dis
ease, which frequently appears under
conditions that invalidate all precon-
ceived theories and thwarts all accepted
methods OF treatment. Srch being the
fact it seems almost useless to suggest
means of prevention, but what all par
ents should do is to acquaint them
selves with the symptoms Of the dis
ease and the moment they are mani
tested seek physician. Timely treat
ment is of tho very greatest Importance
in case of diphtheria, which makes its
disastrous progress with fearful CELEBRITY.
